Was really torn between Puig and Heaney after I couldn't get Stratton. Heaney better be an ace...

Since it's been some time since I have drafted in the IBC (and because I don't want Dan to be able to get too proud, so I'll try to change the subject): has there been a draft in recent memory where a guy was passed on and had such an immediate impact/made people want to vomit because they passed on him? Puig went basically from "are Cuba leagues going to translate to MLB" concerns to "should he be an All-Star" in 6 months. Has anyone else had quite that much of an impact? Timmy Lincecum was called up his first year and did pretty well in 07 (if I remember right)...anyone else?

Hey Ryu at 21 wasn't bad either!

Yu and Daisuke both went #1 IIRC, I don't think we've had anyone like Puig.
